Go to TEAMS assignment tab

• 1. Click on the "Tips for Assessing Risk" Assignment.

• Highlight each of the factors that influence your own views about whether to take a risk.

• I will give you 3 minutes to do so in class. If you don't finish in that time keep it open and then complete it right after class. Please.

Note that one of the dilemmas of risk-taking is estimating the probability (or measure of the likelihood) that a benefit or harm will happen. Point out that the more experience we have with something, the less risky it seems. This can be beneficial with some risks, but potentially harmful with others.

Takeaways

•There are many factors that influence how risky we think something is:

•We all have different comfort levels with taking risks.

•Some risks will result in benefits and some will result in harms.

•When it comes to risk taking, it is important to anticipate the probability of both benefits and harms.
